titanax 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) wow, your floorplan can make 5 bedrooms out! shiok and envy. haha paiseh side track a bit. so who tio banned ah? thank you! actually the present owners have extended the utility room to be a maid's room, but we will be restoring it back to it original location. one thing i learnt from sale of my own flat is don't hack your walls too much, when people see an ad for 4-room hdb, most of them would want to see 4 rooms! but it went well though Edited June 23, 2010 by titanax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lachesis 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 pls dun mind, i too eng in office liao. hahahaha WOW. That is a BIG MBR. Lol. Can even squeeze in a big WIW.. hmmm........Bedroom 3 is a bit small though. Trying not to do so much hacking this time round. One of the best things about this unit is the sense of space when you first walk in (i.e. the living and dining)... there is er.. "AAAAAAAH"... type of feeling. Hee hee hee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lachesis 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 Went for our 1st appointment today. Now begins the loooong, looooooong, looooooooooong eight week wait till the 2nd appointment. Plus, we had agreed to give the sellers a 3-week extension to allow them to get their new place ready. It may not sound like a big deal, but to us it means - 3 weeks more of being 'homeless' and living out of boxes - 3 weeks extra for paid storage - 3 weeks 'delay' in starting reno. But since it was a condition in the sale, we said ok. Then today, they asked for 3 more days. Sounds trivial, but it means 3 more days of delay! Our agent had already forewarned their agent that the timing has to be arranged 'swee swee'. Plus, their agent cited 'stress' as one of the reasons for asking for the extension. Seriously??? What if 3 days becomes 4 days, becomes 5 days... grrr... Anyway, to cut a long story short, we'll get our keys in the 2nd week of Sep. Also went to the HDB Area office to sort out the issue of season parking. Boy it is complicated!! First we have to transfer our existing season parking to another carpark. The carpark of choice is a 'controlled' carpark (quota filled by residents), and there were no more lots of Jul or Aug. We have to take the next nearest carpark for those 2 months, then try our luck for Sep. And because it's such a complicated process, we can't do it online (yeah, you can transfer your season parking via the HDB website using your Singpass, so convenient!), which means two more trips to the Area Office. Luckily the lady who served us at the Area Office was very patient and nice, and even drew us a timeline. Lol. So, in the meantime, it's back to the hunt for furniture, sinks, sanitary ware, etc... Counting down the days till Sep... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
